T by Alexander Wang in T-Minus Two Weeks

>> Alexander Wang may be skipping his legendary fashion show after-party this February, but he's got a more democratic treat in store instead: the T by Alexander Wang line he promised back in August, just as described. “Necklines are stretched and armholes are strategically lowered so that it looks worn in. It’s like sleeping in a T-shirt and then wearing it the next day. It’s not this crisp little T out of the dryer. It’s draped and kind of wilted." The twelve styles of dresses, tops, and tanks are a third of the price of his mainline — think dresses for around $85, tees around $75. Stock hits stores by the end of the month, and Saks already has some pieces available for pre-order.

I actually tried to buy the black mini-pocket tee at lagarconne.com but it was sold out already. There's one on ebay but do I really want to pay the difference between that and a gap t? Sadly the answer is, yes. There's something really special about them and I guess they're still not so expensive as mainline Wang...

I've no clue what makes Alexander Wang so special.
The fashion world and their followers needs to wake up since quite some time. The last decade the price-tags have been insane. Its very sad to read about the lost of 1,000 jobs.
Yes, it looks a lot like a Hanes ad.

I love Alexander Wang as much as the next girl but $75 for a stretched out t-shirt? In this economy? Come on, and with Saks just announcing they've cut over 1,000 jobs, the fashion world needs to wake up.
(Plus is it just me or could that be a Hanes ad?)
